When the Utes and the Trojans battled in Salt Lake City back in October, Utah emerged victorious and handed USC what is still their only loss of the season.

Now with a rematch looming, USC is favored by just three points with a College Football Playoff berth on the line.

On today’s episode of Locked On Pac-12, I’m joined by ‘Locked On Utes’ host JT Wistrcill.

We discuss what Utah must do in order to repeat as Pac-12 Champions this year, and it starts with containing Caleb Williams within the confines of the pocket to throw the football. Utah’s off

ense has shown flashes of greatness this year, such as when they scored 43 points against the same USC defense they will face on Friday night–led by QB Cam Rising and TE Dalton Kincaid.

The Utes will be without their leading rusher in Tavion Thomas, so can they muster up enough points to keep pace with a high-octane USC offense?
